A non-Easter story for Easter

A long time ago, a prophet said:

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
  for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
  and to proclaim that captives will be released
  and prisoners will be freed.
He has sent me to tell those who mourn
  that the time of the Lord’s favor has come."

Several hundred years later, Jesus read this in public and said, "This Scripture has come true today before your very eyes!"
